I have been a practicing therapist since 1982. I have focused on Sportsmassage since 1983. I have worked on athletes at all levels from junior high through professionals (golf, baseball, football, and track and field). For ten year, I served as the massage therapist for the University of Missouri track and field team, and am still on the sports medicine staff of the University. I have also worked with softball, golf, gymnastic, men's and women's basketball, football, and baseball at MIZZOU. In 2008, The American Massage Therapy Association presented me with its national Sports Massage Achiever Award for my contributions to the field.
